The Jumpstarting Brain Tumor Drug Development Coalition (JBTDDC) announced a new consensus protocol for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in brain tumor clinical trials to help better assess if a new treatment is effective. The coalition’s Brain Tumor Imaging Standardization Steering Committee published its recommended new standards for acquisition of imaging data in multicenter clinical trials, called the Brain Tumor Imaging Protocol (BTIP), in the advanced access online edition of the journal Neuro-Oncology.
After marking a steady decline since 2005, the vacancy rate for radiographers increased slightly to 3.4 percent in 2015, according to the latest American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Radiologic Sciences Workplace and Staffing Survey.
The Mini-Doppler Flow 404 from Gammex tests both Doppler and B-mode ultrasound systems in a single unit, and is ideal for cardiology, musculoskeletal and breast applications.
Computed tomography (CT) users can now accurately represent scatter effects from wide-beam CT scans with the ACR 464 extension plates from Gammex.
The Gammex CT (computed tomography) Perfusion Phantom is designed to mimic a perfusion study where traceable material is monitored as it travels through brain tissue. Software that is proprietary to the CT scanner is then used to determine blood flow rate curves and to compare them to known normals. This provides a reference baseline.
